Appeals from actions by the director of planning and permitting in the administration of the rules adopted pursuant to this part shall be heard and decided by the council. An appeal shall be sustained only if the council finds that the director’s action was based on an erroneous finding of material fact, or that the director had acted in an arbitrary or capricious manner, or had manifestly abused the director’s discretion.
